The Next Twenty Best Post-Punk Singles You Probably Never Heard

Months ago Stereo Embers posted the firstlist of post-punk singles that likely never graced a turntable near you but of course there was such an abundance of candidates that a second list was all but guaranteed. And well, that next installment has arrived. A modest handful of these might reasonably be considered somewhere near the outskirts of prominent but most were outliers of the most sublime sort. For now we’re going to eschew thumbnail sketches of each artist or band and let the tracks speak for themselves, which we think they do rather commandingly. Is this the final list? It would be advisable, we think, to doubt it. Put your headphones on, clear your calender, and enjoy, it’s fun.
